Eventually, yes. Got TWO very good pieces in the draft. That pressure D should give us the turnovers needed to fuel an effective running offense. It won't be boring...
Hendo + MKG + Taylor + Biz makes for some nice defense.

Will we be one of the top defensive teams in the league this upcoming season?
Biyombo will average well over 2 BPG and we have some aggresive defenders like Hendo, Walker and MKG

I think you have to have a ball-hawk point guard in order to have a top defense. We should be pretty tenacious this year, but I think we've got a ways to go before we're a top defense, which is different than just getting a lot of blocks and steals.
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
not necessarily a PG, but at least one wing who can lock down the opponent's best wing. More importantly, you need the frontcourt to be solid with rim protection, rotation, and defensive rebounding. You can hide one bad 1on1 perimeter defender, but a turnstile like Mully can have a huge negative effect on team defense.
Realistically though, you want all guys on the floor to have sound fundamentals, good athleticism, intelligence, and a high work rate (effort/dedication). That alone should equate to an at least average defense.
Kemba and DJ are below average. Mullens is still poor, reggie, matty C, Diop (isn't he a defensive specialist?) still suck, Gordon I doubt will be great. This team still has loads of players, especially on the bench who struggle with defense. I dont think we are going to be GREAT this year but we have a good defensive core

If they get Eric Gordon, Henderson gone..but, this team would no longer be anyones laughing stock.
